University College London (BSc Management Science) vs Bocconi (BSc Economics, Management & CS) for Undergraduate?

I want to pursue a master's as well as an MBA after undergrad. Which university will open more doors for me? Which school will give me a higher chance of getting into a master's degree at an Ivy League? At the moment, I believe that I want to pursue entrepreneurship or IB after education. Thank you so much for your help! Sincerely, Archit :)

You can't do a good MBA without work experience. people tend to work in banking/PE for a few years and then do an MBA. Master's at Ivy Leagues aren't usually great at getting people into banking. Most people break into the industry as undergrads and this is what most banks expect; you should therefore go to the school which maximises your odds of getting into IBD in london.

For that, either will be fine. Any differences will be marginal, study the degree you prefer/in the country you prefer.

Thank you so much for your response! Which school would maximise my odds of getting into IBD in London? I love both schools equally and I am unable to decide.

 

there isn't a meaningful difference if I'm honest, your odds of breaking in from any university are quite low ceteris paribus; if you tick the box of going to a top school, which both are, it will come down to how your profile stands out from other people. Your university can't help with that aspect.
